Lachen Village
Yumthang Valley, Sikkim, India
Lachen, meaning "small pass," is a picturesque village in North Sikkim situated at a lower altitude than Yumthang, serving as the primary overnight stop for travelers heading towards the high-altitude Gurudongmar Lake. The village offers a serene ambiance, traditional Bhutia culture, and stunning v iews of the surrounding mountains and the Lachen Chu river. The local Lachenpa community has a unique self-governing system called the 'Dzumsa.' Visiting Lachen provides a glimpse into the traditional way of life in this remote Himalayan region. The journey from Gangtok to Lachen is long and passes through breathtaking landscapes. Permits are required to visit Lachen and North Sikkim. Acclimatization in Lachen is crucial before proceeding to higher altitudes like Gurudongmar. The village has basic amenities and a few monasteries worth visiting.
